[SOLVED]FaceDirection diagonals problem?

[SpacePaw]

Hello,
I have no idea why I can't get the character to face diagonal directions with FaceDirection :/ He always ends up looking up/down/left/right

Code: ags

function FaceDirection (this Character*, Directions direction, BlockingStyle block)
{
  if (direction == eUp)
  {
    this.FaceLocation(this.x, this.y-1, block);
  }
  else if (direction == eDown)
  {
    this.FaceLocation(this.x, this.y+1, block);
  }
    else if (direction == eLeft)
  {
    this.FaceLocation(this.x-1, this.y, block);
  }
    else if (direction == eRight)
  {
    this.FaceLocation(this.x+1, this.y, block);
  }
    else if (direction == eUpLeft)
  {
    this.FaceLocation(this.x-1, this.y-1, block);
  }
    else if (direction == eUpRight)
  {
    this.FaceLocation(this.x+1, this.y-1, block);
  }
    else if (direction == eDownLeft)
  {
    this.FaceLocation(this.x-1, this.y+1, block);
  }
    else if (direction == eDownRight)
  {
    this.FaceLocation(this.x+1, this.y+1, block);
  }
}

Here's the function code...I tried increasing 1 to 50 thinking that maybe engine got confused by small values but it didn't help. Suggestions?

The only reason I can think of: I believe a character can only face directions they can walk in. Is the character on a walkable area?

Well yes he is...on the very edge of it. I tried all possible face directions and he can face all except the diagonals (even the ones facing the way he came from)

SpacePaw, You did't try to go simple path?
Simply having substituted the sprite of the character when it is necessary to turn it

Unfortunately the character actually needs to rotate himself from current position to new one. Simple swap won't work here.

Make sure every loop in the walk view has at least two frames, just duplicate the first frames if you need to.
I hope that helps you.

Thanks! It works now! I had separate 1 frame view for turning it solved it! You rock!
